I am thrilled to share this giveaway with you! As I am sure most of you know, I create printables and so does Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler. What you may not know is that through blogging we became friends behind the scenes long ago! We have recently decided to partner together to share our Kindergarten-focused programs and host a giveaway of BOTH!

I used Erica’s LOTW Preschool printables all throughout preschool with Krash. We used RRSP as our base and added in tons of LOTW printables to supplement-it worked beautifully for us!

We are now using Calvert as our base, You Can Read as our main add-on for sight words, and LOTW K4 as a supplement!

Because I know I will be using these materials again with Krash for review and also with Ladybug in the future, I decided to print my favorites and laminate them. I actually scaled down a few and printed 2 per page and laminated these back to back to save paper/ink/laminating film.

Here’s just a small glimpse of a few of Erica’s K4 printables we have used…

As Krash got towards the end of RRSP, we began using the letter hunt worksheets from LOTW K4…

More recently we have been using the beginning sound sheets. We both love these because they become a big laughing fest for us. First he says the sound {“k”} and then he replaces the beginning sound in each word says them aloud {Kish, Kebra, Kite}. He absolutely loves this and it really helped him!!

We also used the simple sentence mini books…

He did awesome with the middle vowel sound work-I was actually quite surprised!

I love that Erica’s creations can be added into our routine so easily. He recognizes many of the graphics from doing the LOTW week work during preschool. I have many other activities printed to use in the future, I just keep it all together in a pocket folder and pull out a few things to add to his lesson plans each week.

Hey, I follow you on FB, and am subscribed to you aswell as confessions of a homeschooler! Id LOVE to win.. I am getting material ready for my 26m old as I am due to have num 2 in 3 months time! :)God bless you all!

I would love to win this. I have a little boy who has serious developmental delays due to seizures. He has learned his alphabet, but sounds and putting letter together is going to be tough. I'm up for any help I can get. I enjoy your blogs, they are always full of helpful ideas for us.
